So is junkenstein's lab testing for something more?

I cannot help but be suspicious of the amount of effort put into this mode. Yes I know at least some of the new abilities are recycled from the cancelled PvE, but even disregarding that there’s like an entirely new UI system just for this mode, there’s custom art for the menus on it and a halloween version of all the map splashscreens, there’s new narration. It just feels like it’s been a long time since this much effort has been put into small details like this for an event. And also this is the 2nd time in recent memory they tested letting you pick abilities. Makes me wonder if perhaps something more is going on

I think the whole pvp is going to go paladins way. Mutations & Pickable passives might be interesting. If done right it could make game fun or unfun.

With the way T4 balance this game it might suck.

Feels like a 2 part test. Testing separate hero passives and how they would work over role passives. And testing a hero lock mode, which is the part that isn’t working for the mode at the moment.

It’s pve scraps that’s about it

Definitely seems to be more than just left over pve modifications.

Upgrades would be the best game mode
